This week's guest is Val Jones a former elite figure skater. She has shared the medal podium with Olympians Kristi Yamaguchi, Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan. Her own Olympic dream was crushed when she sustained a career-ending knee injury.
In recent years, Val has had 8 major surgeries in 9 years and contracted a potentially deadly complication after the 5th surgery. She has not only survived these but has found a way to thrive in spite of them.
Taken from her own experiences, Val has proven approaches on how to overcome obstacles, persist through problems and come out on the other side even stronger.
I am proud to introduce to you the only human on the planet who can perform a triple lutz but does not know how to ride a bike, Val Jones.
We hope you enjoy the conversation!
